CCUS and Industrial Decarbonisation

A common finding across technical and modelling studies such as IPCC AR5 and the IEA CCS scenarios is that CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage) is vital to reducing emissions at lowest cost globally. However, CCUS deployment needs to accelerate significantly – most global trajectories require CCUS to deliver 1,000-2,000 million tonnes of CO2 abatement per annum, by 2030, a hundred-fold increase over the next 15 years.

In Element Energy’s CCUS and industry team, we provide advice to our public and private clients such as Oil and Gas Climate Initiative, International Energy Agency GHG, European Commission and European governments to inform strategic decision-making, project development and policy-making in the CCUS and industrial decarbonisation sectors. We help our clients understand CCUS markets, technologies, policies, economics, regulations and financing aspects to enable the deployment of CCUS projects. Our recommendations are optimised using our industry-leading and peer reviewed cost databases and techno-economic models. Our project leadership skills allow us to help our clients leverage funding for their low carbon infrastructure investments.
